I sat down mid last year and deeply soul searched. “K, what do you REALLY want out of Life? What are you dreaming of?”
And the answer came back, “To be wealthy”.
“Reeeally now”, said I, “What will wealth bring you?”
“More travel”.
Sigh. “And why do you want to travel so badly? What’s the allure?”
“Nature, water, adventure, changing scenery and many happy hours of deep conversation with like minded people”. Whoa! Tall order! Not.
I realised that EVERY one of those things is within my reach now, as my life is, without the “wealth” I was convinced I needed.
So, I packed us up and moved to Tobago. We stayed for 4 months.
4 months of living in a massive yard full of trees, shrubs, herbs and flowers and wildlife of all description. 4 months of meandering walks past rivers and bamboo stands and every so often, the seaside. 4 months of breathing fresh sea air and playing with puppies. 4 months of soul awakening, spirit rejuvenating bliss.
Aaand because Life is aaall about balance, those 4 months were also among my most emotionally, professionally and financially testing to date. Lol Life WILL balance itself.
Tweet this! (just click it): Be grateful for your tests because they are opportunities to grow.
By the end of 2014 I was a different woman.
I was taking every day as it came, grateful that I had even lived to see it. I was calmer. I refused to let anyone or anything stress me (besides my 8 yr old, SMH). I knew that I KNEW that I had always been taken care of and that I always WILL be.
Life had become an adventure.
So we’re back now and the above still all hold true, but you know what else??? I’ve GOT all the things I’d been yearning for! It’s only just April and I have already had more happy gatherings with like minded people than I did for probably all of last year. I have been steadily in or near the water. We have had sooo many adventures and Life is just overall grand!
So now I ask you, what are you wishing, hoping, praying to have more of in your Life, that you CAN have RIGHT NOW, if you would just decide to shake your life up a bit and to see things from a different perspective??

BE Magic + Joy EVERY day
